The hubby and I will be going on vacation for about 8 days. We have two dogs who will be going to a boarding kennel and a cat that we’re not sure what to do with. In the past we had two cats who kept each other company when we were gone and a friend from the neighborhood would drop by every day or two to check in on them and make sure they had food, etc.
Now we are down to the one kitty and both my friends from the neighborhood have moved further away.
I was planning to ask them if each of them could stop in for a few minutes if they happen to be in the neighborhood once or twice. Meanwhile an acquaintance of ours offered to take the kitty into her home for the week. She has a few dogs and cats of her own.
Just FYI this cat spent the first 5 years of her life in a shelter full of dogs and she’s pretty social but she’s been with our family for several years now and I’m not sure her feelings about strange animals after all this time.
Do the cat people out there think it would be better for our cat to stay home alone or have company but be in a strange place with strange people and animals? I’m just not sure she would be comfortable with that but I feel bad leaving her alone with just a few visits
